[Footnote 51: The case is then identical with a sexual attack on a woman, in whom the attack of the man cannot be warded off through the full muscular strength of the woman because a portion of the unconscious feelings of the one attacked meets it with ready acceptance. To be sure, it is said that such a situation paralyses the strength of a woman; we need only add the reasons for this paralysis. Insofar the clever sentence of Sancho Panza, which he pronounced as governor of his island, is psychologically unjust (_Don Quixote_, vol. ii. chap. xlv). A woman hauled before the judge a man who was supposed to have robbed her of her honour by force of violence. Sancho indemnified her with a full purse which he took from the accused, but after the departure of the woman he gave the accused permission to follow her and snatch the purse from her. Both returned wrestling, the woman priding herself that the villain was unable to possess himself of the purse. Thereupon Sancho spoke: “Had you shown yourself so stout and valiant to defend your body (nay, but half so much) as you have done to defend your purse, the strength of Hercules could not have forced you.”] [Footnote 52: It is evident that the situation of a battlefield is such as to meet the requirement of conscious suicidal intent which, nevertheless, shuns the direct way. Cf. in _Wallenstein_ the words of the Swedish captain concerning the death of Max Piccolomini: “They say he wished to die.”] [Footnote 53: “Selbstbestrafung wegen Abortus von Dr. J. E.

Psychoanalyse_, i. 3, 1911.] [Footnote 55: Psychoanalytic research, with the penetration of infantile amnesia, has shown that this apparent precocity is a less abnormal occurrence than was previously supposed.] [Footnote 56: The term “medical questions” is a common periphrasis for “sexual questions.”] [Footnote 57: Cf. Oldham’s “I wear my pen as others do their sword.”] [Footnote 58: Maeder, “Contribution à la psychologie de la vie quotidienne,” _Arch. des psychologie_, T. vi. 1906.]
